/SMART CINDY...:-)
She may look like a casting reject from Village of the Damned, but Cindy Smart is no creepy alien-girl. Well, she is
a little creepy. With two 16-bit microprocessors, voice-recognition software and a digital camera lodged in her chest, she
takes interactive playtime to a new level. The doll can do simple math, recognize basic shapes and colors, respond to 70 preprogrammed
questions and read flash cards (as long as they're within her vocabulary of 650 English words and a smattering of German,
Spanish, Italian and French ones). If all this gets to be too much, you can always switch Cindy off and braid her white-blond
hair.

from this grea tStevieNicks site comes the story of the legendairy Rhiannon::
Stevie "Rhiannon" Nicks one The One of Our all Timespace Favourite Goddesses...Goddess of the G~Millennieum!
See the Fire & Fleet & Candlelight sites for links with Buffy and Stevie...thanks a whole lotta lovin!'
This page is dedicated to to the song Rhiannon, one of my very favorites! Stevie first heard the name Rhiannon in
a book called Triad. The story is not about the goddess Rhiannon, although it does talk about the Mabinogion and the Story
of Rhiannon the goddess. In fact the Rhiannon in Triad is an evil person! The main charactor is Branwen, she is welsh, and
its her cousin who was named Rhiannon. They looked alot alike, Brawnen's mother had a twin sister that married her father's
twin brother! Rhiannon died at the age of 13 and Branwen was 9. Rhiannon had been very cruel to Branwen, so one day during
a game of hide and seek, Branwen finds Rhiannon hiding in a big freezer in the basement and laughing. On the floor is the
dead kitten which had been given to Branwen, and Rhiannon killed, although none of the s believed Rhiannon was guilty. While
Branwen goes outside to rebury the kitten, Rhiannon can't hold the lid up and is trapped. They are alone in the house and
Branwen can't open the lid and must run for help, but Rhiannon dies inside the freezer. Branwen always felt guilty about her
death. The story begins where Branwen and her husband buy a big old house on the cliffs of Lake Michigan after losing their
baby to crib death and not wanted to return to the same apartment. Some say the house is haunted. She is alone alot as her
husband travels alot. Three years go by and she still has not become pregnant again. She begins to hear voices, Rhiannon's
voice! Things disappear and reappear in places she doesn't remember putting them. She begins having blackouts for days. She
finally becomes pregnant, and towards the end of her pregnancy the voice of Rhiannon makes her run out to the cliffs where
her husband finds her. She begins seeing a psychiatrist who asks her does she know the story of Rhiannon, as he is also welsh.
This is where a brief description of the story of Rhiannon is mentioned in the book. He finds she has a split personality
named Phoebe. She seems to be better, has the baby and all is well. Then the doctor disappears, and Rhiannon returns trying
to take her over. She comes out of a struggle with Rhiannon in the babys room where her husband finds her. It ends with Branwen
in a mental hospital, her husband and baby left the house and moved into an apartment. She wants to stay in the mental hospital
where she know Rhiannon can not get to her husband and child. Branwen sends a note to the police that she thinks the doctor
may be in the basement inside a water cisten of some kind. Rhiannon is getting stronger and comes out alot more and is trying
to convince doctors she is getting better, so Branwen writes the whole story down to give to her husband to protect them.
"Isn't Rhiannon a beautiful name" Stevie says to Lindsey. And a beautifully haunting song was created, ever changing, ever
evolving! Also written, the Three Birds Of Rhiannon, along with other songs, to become a movie about Rhiannon. Unfortunately,
a movie and the other songs were never finished or released.
RHIANNON
Rhiannon rings like a bell thru the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover..and who will be her lover
All your life you've never seen
A woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win..
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen
A woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win..
Dreams Unwind...love's a state of mind..
Words by Stevie Nicks
Some years after Rhiannon was written Stevie was sent, by a fan, the Mabinogion which surprised Stevie how much her song
was like the story of Rhiannon. Rhiannon's story is one of love and magic. Rhiannon was a queen in the "Bright World" which
is far above our own. She fell in love with a mysterious stranger and was bid to subdue up her powers and her world in order
to marry ... one of theonly power she was left with was her power of insight, enabling her to see into the future. Rhiannon
had three magical birds, one emerald green, one golden, and one snow white. The three birds could sing the dead to life and
the living to sleep. The birds would only come in time of great need to help heal and end suffering.

Stepford
Child
She speaks
when spoken to, she's a teacher's pet ... heck, she's got a photographic memory. Chips and cams and computer programs - that's
what Cindy Smart is made of.
By Sonia Zjawinski
Even
though she's just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She's a good reader. She can tell time and do simple
math, including multiplication and division.
She's not a prodigy.
She's just good programming.
Cindy looks like
an average doll - 18˝ inches of blond hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose. But loaded with a digital camera, microprocessor,
and voice recognition software, Cindy is the first doll that can see, think, and do as she's told. That makes her both surprisingly
precocious ... and a little creepy. When introduced by Toy Quest at conventions around the nation earlier this year, the doll
spooked viewers as she read and counted out loud. "It was just startling," says Karla'
Busche, a toy industry veteran. "If the Stepford Wives had babies, this is what they would be like."
Busche, a buyer for the Home Shopping Network, signed up to sell 500 dolls on HSN this July, in advance of her debut on store
shelves this fall with a $100 price tag.
Photo by James Chiang "Sell Mattel @ $20..." | The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Chatty Cathy, whose
pull-string statements shook up the doll market 40 years ago, or Sony's barking Aibo robot, which was the first to popularize
voice command in the late '90s. Cindy takes Aibo's innovations one step beyond: She not only follows instructions but intuits
shapes, colors, and words — and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning.
An apparently good link to other Stepford Files...
heres some fun links to some of our other sites...
link to good search engines and...Nancy Drew mmod? see for yourself... wanda and Diane looked Art Ruby and her sister Lily...smoking...a
